Wasn't it the last election too?

I know, but first time watching results coming in live, Florida's particularly frustrating

 

[robochimp]

Half of Florida is in and Trump is winning

Half of precincts may have reported but that number doesn't mean half of Florida voters.

 

[Fliesen]

"Fauquier County" - wasn't that some kind of Chapelle skit?

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

It's kind of depressing for how many adults in here this is seemingly their first time paying attention to an election.

.

 

[Corto]

Half of Florida is in and Trump is winning

It's the bad half though.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Bayh is doing okay in Indianapolis so far.

 

[Basileus777]

Why are people freaking out when Trump is doing terribly in Florida?

 

[giga]

Stop panicking about Florida and follow Steve Schale.

Or vice versa. He won the state for Obama.

 

[LifEndz]

Man BBC showing Clinton 3 Trump 24, 270 to win is worrying.

The big guns have yet to fire.

 

[catmincer]

My anxiety is through the roof. Least there's cities pending so let's hope we swing back to blue

 

[m_shortpants]

NH going to Trump?

 

[saelz8]

So how does this work? Why is Florida so important? What if 1 of the candidates only wins by 1 vote, does it count as them winning the whole thing and give them a massive advantage? (UK here)

29 electoral votes. It's a big deal. If Trump loses Florida, he's practically finished. He's done.

The end.

 

[Kurt Angle]

this is floridas fault

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Trump back on top in FL for now?

 

[Steel]

If Trump takes Florida, what states does Clinton need to win?

New Hampshire would be enough. Literally any battleground state.

Florida has 29 electoral votes. It's always been a key state in elections.

California itself is worth 55. So yeah.

 

[Cidd]

People putting hopes on Florida lol.

I'm in Broward County, we're fucked.

 

[King Tubby]

Most of the Florida vote that has been counted is in Republican leaning districts. Relax.

 

[styl3s]

Watch the USA series "Justified". It'll make sense.

You mean FX series Justified?

 

[thepotatoman]

South Carolina and Georgia not being called yet is a pretty good sign for Clinton supporters. Trump should be killing those states.

 

[TuXx]

Ya got anymore of those key race alerts?

 

[Yen]

BBC in a bar in Philly interviewing a shitfaced Trump fan.

 

[Apathy]

US elections are odd since it's so different from state to state the way to vote. Here in canada since it's all uniform, like 4-7 minutes after the east coast polls close the news network can basically call it and the rest of the night it's just exactly how many seats each party gets

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

These KEY STATE ALERTS and the way Blitzer goes all out TRUMP IS HAVING A VERY BIG LEAD WITH 1% OF THE VOTE COUNTED!!! (or vice versa)



Jesus christ, every little half result is being hyped to hell. So fucking stupid.

It really is stupid even though I can understand why news organizattions play up this nonsense. Part of the reason why I don't follow the news on election day anymore. Forums/threads are where I get my info.

 

[op_ivy]

Trump on not getting Bush vote: 'Sad'

CNN headline or meme?

 

[Laieon]

Wish I could find a decent CNN stream, it sounds more entertaining than NBCs youtube one.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

If Trump takes Florida, what states does Clinton need to win?

Trump needs Florida much more than HRC

 

[zeshakag]

Pls Florida-senpai

 

[maquiladora]

FL 52%

Trump
49.2%
2,399,725

Clinton
47.8%
2,331,835

 

[RedAssedApe]

the cnn alert reminds me of that keemstar guy.

DRAMA ALERT

Spoiler

it was nothing

 

[nasax]

YOU'RE IN THE SITUATION ROOM

 

[N.Domixis]

So sad she is losing florida. So depressing.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Fucking relax with Florida already, goodness.

 

[Rentahamster]

My Step Dad is literally yelling told ya! Seeing the 24 to 3 score. I just nod my head as I walked by. Poor guy.

Premature "I told ya so" is very annoying. Keep your crow on standby just in case.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Sit back and chill, folks. There have been no surprises so far. Don't panic over battle ground states that have 2% in with narrow margins, you'll wear yourselves down.

 

[echoshifting]

Wish I could find a decent CNN stream, it sounds more entertaining than NBCs youtube one.

Yeah, anybody got one?

 

[GhaleonEB]

The fact that FL is basically tied without anything from Boward, and little from Clinton's strongholds means we should be feeling the opposite of panic. It's not going to be very close.

 

[Baalzebup]

So how does this work? Why is Florida so important? What if 1 of the candidates only wins by 1 vote, does it count as them winning the whole thing and give them a massive advantage? (UK here)

Yup. The states are winner takes all.

 

[sangreal]

Trump back on top in FL for now?

almost all the clinton counties are still at 0%

 

[BlackBuzzard]

If Trump wins in Florida we could always just.

Just saying.

 

[Einchy]

Trump needs Florida much more than HRC

Yes, I know it's over for him if he losses.

 

[Merc_]

I was expecting to watch Trump supporters meltdown, but you guys are doing a good job of whipping yourselves up into one too.

lmao

 

[Psychoward]

If Trump takes Florida, what states does Clinton need to win?

iirc nothing more than the usual

 

[Toxi]

Christ Florida is uncomfortably close so far

Florida's always close. That's why it's pointless reacting until nearly all the vote is in.

Thank you. This will be useful.

The way Wolf is barking orders at King is quite hilarious. "Show me the electoral college map!"

How many hours from now will we have a reliable result? I'm going to bed...
